Summary:

This article talks about an alternative hardening process known as intensive quenching, which involves extremely high cooling rates within the martensite phase temperature range.

How was DANTE Used?:

DANTE was used to generate thermal, structural, and stress condition graphs for comparison of the intensive quenching process versus the conventional quenching.
